I Never Learned to Swim

</>


After 15 years, imagine returning to your high school where you started out as a kid and left a teenager. Remember the good, the difficult, and the mundane  and the events you want to forget, but cannot. Remember the people who continue to appear in your memory, after all these long years. Favourite teacher. Best friend. Ex-best friend. Bully. First crush. Popular girl.


I invited these people to sit for a portrait and admitted to them the role they had played in my life. This is my attempt to find out how the other person felt, to trust in what has happened and accept the past.
